One Irish Rail worker has been praised for stepping in and driving three girls home to Killarney from Limerick Junction after a signalling fault made them late for the last train home.
The three Kerry women met at the train station in Galway to make the journey home for the festive period and all was going well until they hit delays at Limerick Junction.
Cara Ní Chofaigh, an applied behavioural analysis student studying at NUIG, said she met her former housemate and her friend on the train leaving Galway and they were in good spirits.
